Abstract
A new experimental intraoral dental xeroradiographic system was evaluated for future
application in dentistry. Similar projections on conventional film radiographs and
experimental dental xeroradiographs were compared visually and radiation exposure
for both techniques was measured by thermoluminescent dosimetry. The xeroradiographic
system was judged superior for imaging most structures, especially oral soft tissues,
subtle bony abnormalities, and fine calculus deposits. Furthermore, xeroradiography
requires only one third the radiation exposure of corresponding conventional film
techniques. Dental xeroradiography appears to have great promise in radiographic interpretation
of oral disease.
